As well as using Bombarding Frames to
launch rockets through the sky (see below), these missile were also
fired along the ground, as depicted with this model:
Also available is the British Rocket Bombarding Frame:
Rockets consisted of a steel case, which had a conical or spherical head and was filled with black gunpowder. The warheads were attached to guide-poles and launched in pairs. The Bombarding Frame consisted of a ladder, two rocket troughs, two supporting legs for the ladder, a tie bar for supporting the legs and a gun bucket.
“The only reason why I wished to have it was to get the horses;
… I do not want to set fire to any town, and I do not know any other use of the rockets.”
… I do not want to set fire to any town, and I do not know any other use of the rockets.”
